"Someone's coming! Be on alert!"
Tianguang County, outside Zhenwu Division.
The patrolling warriors at the barricade were alerted.
"Halt! The Zhenwu Division is on high alert."
"I am Li Fan from Guangnan County!"
"Alliance Leader Li?"
Although the patrolling warriors were surprised, they still gripped their weapons tightly.
The archers hidden atop the high wall also aimed at the source of the sound of horses' hooves.
They would act without hesitation at the slightest sign of trouble.
Finally, under the light of torches.
They recognized who it was.
hiss!
One by one, the martial artists gasped in shock.
Seeing Li Fan covered in wounds, even the battle-hardened warriors of the Zhenwu Division were shaken to their core.
At this moment, no one doubted Li Fan's identity.
They were only curious as to why Li Fan was still alive!
"Who's in charge?"
"Alliance Leader Li, I am Wu Qifan, the Deputy Commander of Tianguang County, Zhenwu Commandery!"
A figure flew out from the Zhenwu Division.
The newcomer was dressed in armor, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a burly build.
"I have a few things I need your help with!"
"Alliance Leader Li, please feel free to give your orders."
"First, send someone to Guangnan County and tell Yan Mingshu to come immediately."
"Second, gather men and come with me to wipe out the Sand River Gang!"
"Third, notify the prefectural government to seal off the city and dispose of all the corpses."
"Fourth, notify the Hai family, the Wang family, the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, and the Eight Directions Manor, and have them mobilize all their personnel to wipe out any remaining members of the Sand River Gang."
After Li Fan finished speaking, the Zhenwu Division and its surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
Aside from notifying Yan Mingshu, the other three tasks were each more difficult than the last.
"Alliance Leader Li, should we consult Commander Ye?"
"He doesn't dare to come back and take charge of the overall situation."
Is Ye Changfeng afraid to come back?
Could it be that he was also involved in the ambush and killing of Li Fan tonight?
A flicker of surprise crossed Wu Qifan's eyes.
"Alliance Leader Li, would it be convenient for you to explain the reason?"
He leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
"I dare to say it, do you dare to listen?"
Li Fan looked at Wu Qifan.
Under his gaze, Wu Qifan's face showed a struggle.
He wasted many years in officialdom.
Now he has to consider whether this is his only chance to rise to power.
"I dare!"
A moment later, Wu Qifan looked at Li Fan with a firm gaze.
The person before me, critically injured and on the verge of death, still dared to go to the meeting alone. Why shouldn't I dare to take the gamble?
“A ninth-rank Divine Elder from the Zhenwu Division attacked me.”
The Ninth Rank is dedicated to the divine.
Wu Qifan's pupils shrank sharply. He looked at Li Fan in disbelief, as if he wanted to ask him how he had survived.
"I killed him!"
Although Li Fan didn't say it explicitly, Wu Qifan already knew what it meant.
"Ding Mao, listen to my command! Gather everyone and assemble!"
He immediately ordered, "Wang Gang, depart for Guangnan immediately and invite Lord Yan to take charge of the overall situation in Tianguang County."
"Liu Dongqiang..."
......
"Prefect, the Zhenwu Division has arrived!"
What did they say?
In the darkness, Yuan Muzhi stood up from the recliner.
"Lock down the city and dispose of the bodies!"
Yun Haihe stepped forward and whispered, "Also, I asked around with the Zhenwu Division."
"Li Fan has ordered the Hai family, the Wang family, the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, and the Eight Directions Manor to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Sand River Gang!"
"Eight Directions Manor also made a move against Li Fan?"
"This subordinate is not clear on the matter, but since Li Fan gave the order, he must have his reasons."
"Quickly, do as Li Fan says right now!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Yun Haihe withdrew, Yuan Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that Li Fan only destroyed the Shahe Gang shows that he is not crazy.
Allowing the prefectural governor's office to handle the body was a matter of principle.
If it really came down to it, he could have let the Zhenwu Division handle it.
We can identify them one by one and retaliate against them one by one.
......
"Li Qi of the Zhenwu Division, acting on the orders of Alliance Leader Li, has instructed the Bafang Manor to immediately gather its forces and annihilate the Shahe Gang warriors!"
Outside the Eight Directions Manor, the martial artists stationed there looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Zhenwu Division warrior who delivered the message didn't linger; he turned and left after speaking.
......
"This Li Fan is far too arrogant."
"Who does he think he is, that whatever he says goes?"
The prodigal swordsman Wei Yuan stormed into the council hall.
Inside the council hall, Yan Shou, Qi Feng, and twelve other seventh-rank innate martial artists all wore solemn expressions.
Wei Yuan sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Elder Yan, what happened? Where is Duan Chenyao?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Duan Chenyao was also involved in the ambush and killing of Li Fan."
"Li Fan has won, that's the result!"
"We now have two choices in front of us."
"By disbanding Bafang Manor, the trouble caused by Duan Chenyao will have nothing to do with us."
"If we don't disband, then we'll become vassals of the Zhenwu Division!"
"I lean towards the latter; please share your opinions as well!"
Although Bafang Manor has not been established for long, Yan Shou has already gotten used to the feeling of having a large following.
Even though there are many things to do, at least my status is completely different from before.
"I agree with Elder Yan!"
Qi Feng spoke up.
I agree!
I second that!
After most people had expressed their opinions, everyone looked at Wei Yuan.
"Joining the Martial Arts Alliance is the future trend!"
"I stand with you all through thick and thin!"
Wei Yuan forced a smile.
......
The Hai family home was brightly lit.
"Wait, I haven't taken my things yet!"
"What kind of time is this to still be carrying around these material possessions?"
"Everyone, immediately put down what you're carrying and leave the city lightly!"
Hai Wulang, the head of the Hai family, personally oversaw the operation, and carriages continuously departed from the surrounding residences.
But the Hai family is too big, and there are too many people.
It's not so easy to evacuate them all in a short time.
"Master...Master, the Zhenwu Division...people have arrived!"
How many people came?
"one person!"
"Could it be Li Fan?!"
Hai Wulang's internal energy surged, ready to retreat at any moment.
"No...it's not Li Fan!"
"He said he came on orders, informing us that the body would be handled by the prefectural governor's office, and also asked us to send people to participate in the extermination of the Shahe Gang warriors!"
Upon hearing this news, a glint of light flashed in Hai Wulang's eyes.
There's still room for things to turn around; this Li Fan is no simple character.
Everything that happened today might have been part of his plan.
"Half of the guards, come with me out of the manor!"
Hai Wulang pondered for a moment and then ordered, "The rest of you, assist Wubo in evacuating the clansmen!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Wang family and the Purple Lightning Sword Sect made the same choice as the Wang family.
While transferring personnel, they also participated in the strangulation operation.
......
Golden Cauldron Sect, Secret Treasury.
"Sect Master, Master, are you really letting me choose freely?"
"Um!"
Jin Chenxiao, the sect leader of the Golden Cauldron Sect, and Danyangzi, the deputy sect leader, nodded in unison.
"Senior Brother, let's go!"
Jiang Xue waved her hand, beckoning Cao Tengfei to rush into the secret vault.
These are all medicinal herbs treasured by the Golden Cauldron Sect.
These old guys wouldn't normally let her in.
"Old Fan, your precious apprentice wouldn't be lying to me, would he?"
"I'm not sure!"
"If Jiang Xue wasn't exaggerating, then Li Fan is far too monstrous!"
"Not only can you not believe it, I still feel like I'm dreaming!"
......
"Hurry up and move it!"
"Fool, be gentle, this is my precious medicine!"
"Dad, what's going on?"
"You damned brat, you finally know how to come back!"
"Stop packing, get out of the city immediately!"
Sha Tongtian, from the Shahe Gang, glared at Sha Fanyun with exasperation.
"Father, what exactly...?"
"Enemy attack!"
"kill!"
Before Sha Tongtian could finish speaking, shouts of battle came from afar.
